The next game for the Allgäu women is next Sunday against TSV Warthausen, which kicks off at 12:15 p.m.

The level of the women's football regional league has increased since its introduction in 2004 as the third highest division in German women's football. The league is divided into five DFB regional associations, with each region having its own division. There are currently 14 teams playing in the Regionalliga Südwest, while the other seasons each have 12 teams. Each team meets twice in a season, which increases competitiveness.

Direct promotion and relegation

With the DFB's reformed promotion regulations, which came into force from the 2024/25 season, all champions of the regional leagues have the opportunity to be promoted directly to the 2nd Bundesliga. The number of relegated teams varies depending on the number of teams relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga. The system has been adapted several times in recent years, particularly due to the challenges brought about by the corona pandemic.

Interest in women's football is constantly growing, which is also reflected in the increase in performance of teams like Eglofs/Heimenkirch/Wohmbrechts. Fans and players can look forward to the coming season and the challenges it will bring.
